  1. Neural Prosthetic Design The Human Hand & Fingers By: Brian Myette BME 181 Section 1 Dr Walter Besio

  2. The Artificial Hand • A prosthetic Artificial hand is designed for duplicating the exact motions of the human hand. • It uses nerve endings to replicate the sensory-motor abilities in the hand.

  3. Commercially Made Prosthetics Limitations • The Prosthetic devises that are commercially made for the public have really evolved over the years. the ability to grasp items. • The design of the prosthetic hand was limited to the process of two or three joints. • Single motor drive acting concurrently on the metacarpo-phalangeal (MP) joints.

  4. Specs of the Wearable Prosthetic Hand 1. Natural grasping capability 2. Natural appearance (cosmetic appearance) 3. Secure grasping and sensory feedback 4. ”Natural” command interface.

  5. Use of Nano plastic and the future of Hand prosthetics • Nano plastics are used to connect the prosthetic hand to nerve endings • With this blast in tecnology, I see that the field will be widening, and the capabilites of the prosthetic hand will be growing • Also a prosthetic could possibly bring back the sense of touch into a hand or finger.

  6. Finger Grasping innovation • Underactuation: Reduction of actuators and sensors • The only down side of Underactuation is that it significantly reduces the strength of the hand, but increases other capabilities
